Thrift and Earnings.

From the Newark IN. j. Press Register.
Farmers are thrifty class and man
age in good and bad season to live
comfortably. They do not waste their
substance in dissipation, and therefore
they always have something to fall
back upon. They own their own
houses, generally free from debt, rear
families and leave something at death.
How is it with the average well-paid
artisan in the city? His yearly wages
is equal to the net income OF a good
farm, his necessities are no greater than
those OF the farmer, bnt his condition
is not compare bic to that Of the latter.
1t can be said with entire truth that
If the farmer lived as recklessly as the
ordinary artisan in the city does he
would become bankrupt IN very short
order. Now, suppose the artisan OF
the city should adopt the temperate
ard thrifty habits of the farmer, how
long would it be before building assO-
Citations would multiply and the home
steads of the artisan spring up by the
hundreds? The prosperity OF work

money as in the saving OF it. With
most wage-earners an increase OF in
come is followed by corresponding
increase of expenditure so no perma-
nent benefit is derived from it. All the
efforts of labor unions have been di-
rected to the end of increasing the
wages of the workman without any
thought of saving and economizing it.
This is the great defect of labor Or
ganization, which neither teaches thrift
nor provides cooperative methods OF
cheap purchasing. Dissipation which
wastes the substance and wrecks the
health of the worker meets with no
condemnation. AS long as thrift and
economy do not rule the life OF the aF
erage wotkingman in the cites, SO long
will the workingman be the under dog
in the struggle OF life. Every dollar
earned and wasted by workingnen con
tributes to make labor's fight weaker,
and every dollar saved and turned to
good account makes labor's cause
stronger. And these dollars, saved or
wasted, affect for good or bad the vel
fare of the community as well as that
OF the individual.
